The Olympics will allow BT to show its commitment to long-term
sustainability in several ways:
• The integrated communications network will enable all the
technologies used during London 2012 to be shared securely.
This will avoid the need for duplicated procedures and systems.
• The project will demonstrate good practice in environmental
monitoring. A groundbreaking new approach is being used to
calculate the carbon footprint of BT’s services for the London
2012 Games. This has identified ways of reducing emissions
which is bringing benefits for London 2012 and for Olympic
Games in the future as well as for other customers who are
able to start to benefit from this now.
• The networks deployed for London 2012 will be reused after
the event. The copper and fibre cables will become part of the
BT national network after the Games. This network will be
available for use by around 2,800 new homes to be built on
the Olympic site after the event.
